Iraq: Stay the Course? Not Likely

G.W. has stated he'd stay the course in Iraq even if the only two people to back him were his wife and his dog. (NOTE: No mention of daughters or Mom and Dad.) Just how likely is this policy to continue?

In the meantime (or "as the lame duck Prez's term runs down"), the Republican chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator John W. Warner of Virginia, a man whose ambitions towards the White House are well known, has said, “In two or three months if this thing hasn’t come to fruition and this level of violence is not under control, I think it’s a responsibility of our government to determine: Is there a change of course we should take?” (qtd. David S. Cloud).

Sounds like Sen. Warner is notifying the rats they'd better learn how to swim.

Warner's term as chair, by the way, comes to an end at the conclusion of this year, just in time to kick off his two year campaign to unseat Sen. McCain as the front runner in the Grand Ol' Party's attempt to keep Sen. Clinton out of the White House.
